For Anime Model Eyes
2D Eyes Focus
2D eyes focus is suitable for the model which is using fully textured on eyes area.
- Unity 3D
- 3D model which only use a texture for each eyes. Example: (Eye texture)
+Open your ready model and Export using FBX. :
+Import the model into Unity. Make sure the size in Unity is proper scale 1, 1, 1
+Import the custom package of "2D Eyes Focus'
+Add Xeno Eye Iris Focus Component on 3D model inspector
+Set 'Head Model' or any model which have Eyes Material on it
+For the "Eye Level" you need to create child GameObject on your model.
+Make sure the axis of Z (Blue) is aligned with your model facing.
+Now you can rename your 'GameObject' with 'EyeLevel. And now make the head bone as its parent
+Now set the transform position of 'Eye Level' to all 0, 0, 0.
Probably you want to set your rotation to 80, 270, 0. But make sure your 'Eye Level' z-axis is facing same direction with your model face.
+Now you can drag the 'Eye level' into the empty slot of Eye level in 2d eye focus inspector
+'Target' Empty slot is the target for the iris to focus/tracking/follow around. It's up to you what kind of target you want to use.
If you want to use script and change the target in real-time, use this method to call:
var NewTarget : Transform;
var EyeFocusScript : XenoEyeIrisFocus;
EyeFocusScript.Target = NewTarget;
+Eye Setting drop down to setting the eyes. It's all explanatory in the inspector
Have a nice trying 🙂


Contributory Value of Farm Buildings
Contributory Value of Farm Buildings
Bins 2017julyblog 002 74985eb187e3c
While new construction costs can be estimated from local contractors, determining the value of existing buildings is much more difficult. The tough question is how much are the old buildings worth? To determine value we need to think about what the building was designed for, whether it is still useful for that original intended use, or if it could possibly be used for something else. Each type of building has unique considerations when making these assessments.
A grain bin is an easy one. It is designed to store grain. Is it large enough that a producer would still want to use it? Does it have aeration fans or drying fans? Does it have unload augers? Once some of these questions are answered then the condition of the bin is looked at to see if there are maintenance issues that need to be fixed.
A study was conducted of many improved farm sales. The study indicated the grain bins contributed $0.20 to $0.80 per bushel. This is a large range in value. The newer, larger bins contributed the most value while smaller, older bins were at the low end of the range. Small bins without unload augers or aeration fans did not contribute any value to the farm sales, even if they were in use.
Machine sheds can be difficult. With modern farm equipment getting larger year after year, the size of the building is an important factor. Is the building tall enough to accommodate a combine or large piece of tillage equipment? Are the height and width of the door large enough for the equipment? Once these factors are determined, the condition of the building can be considered.
A similar study as the grain bins was conducted of machine sheds and resulted in a range from $0.50 to over $4.00 per square foot. The size of the buildings and the door opening size are important factors in the values. Machine sheds with a concrete floor are typically near the high end of the range.

Final goods Definition
In economics Final goods are goods that are ultimately consumed rather than used in the production of another good. For example, a car sold to a consumer is a final good; the components such as tires sold to the car manufacturer are not; they are intermediate goods used to make the final good.
When used in measures of national income and output the term Final goods only includes new goods. For instance, the GDP excludes items counted in an earlier year to prevent double counting of production based on resales of the same item second and third hand.
Consumer goods are exactly the same as final goods, but with the subtle difference that they are specifically intended for the mass market. For instance, consumer goods do not include investment assets, like precious antiques, even though these items are final goods.

How to trigger an Azure Synapse pipeline run from C#
As part of a reporting project we've been working on recently, we needed to be able to kick off an Azure Synapse pipeline run from C# code running in an Azure Functions app. Documentation is a bit sparse in this area, so here's how to do it.
How do I do it?
 1. Add a reference to Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts. You can find the API documentation here. This provides the C# API for talking to Synapse. At the time of writing, I used the 1.0.0-preview.4 version.
 2. In your code, create a new instance of the Azure.Analytics.Synapse.Artifacts.PipelineClient class. This requires the dev endpoint for your Synapse instance, as well as your preferred means of authentication. More on this below.
 3. Assuming your pipeline needs some parameters supplying, create a Dictionary containing them.
 4. Execute PipelineClient.CreatePipelineRunAsync() method to kick off the pipeline run.
Show me the code!
 var pipelineClient = new PipelineClient(
 new Uri(""),
 new DefaultAzureCredential());
 var parameters = new Dictionary
 { "parameter1", "value1" },
 { "parameter2", "value2" },
 Response run = await pipelineClient.CreatePipelineRunAsync(
 "",
 parameters: parameters).ConfigureAwait(false);
 // The response contains the Id of the new pipeline run.
The dev endpoint you need when creating the PipelineClient can be found in the portal, and has the form
https://
Screenshot of the Azure Portal with the necessary endpoint information highlighted
How does my code authenticate to the Synapse API?
Authentication is via the Azure.Identity library, so you have the standard options. DefaultAzureCredential is probably the one you'll need - it works through a list of authentication mechanisms in order of likelihood (you can see the list here), starting with credentials stored in environment variables and ending with an interactive browser login prompt.
If like me your code is running in an Azure Functions app with a Managed Identity (and assuming you don't override it using environment variables), this means that the Managed Identity of the Functions app will be used to authenticate to the Synapse endpoint. And when running locally, it should pick up your Visual Studio or Azure CLI credentials and use those.
Either way, in order to run the pipeline, that identity will need to have been granted the Synapse Credential User role in your Synapse instance. This can be done using the "Access Control" panel in the Management area of Synapse Studio (note the warning when you grant access - it can take a few minutes for the update to take effect).

Is it possible to prevent mouseDown effect when widget already displaying selected effect
Is it possible to prevent the display of a "mouseDown" effect when the widget is already displayed with the "selected" effect?
Reproducible Steps:
 1. User clicks on a button, button displays "mouseDown" effect.
 2. User releases the mouse and the button displays with a "Selected" effect.
 3. User clicks on the selected button.
When the user clicks on an already selected button, I don't want to see the mouseDown effect; I want to continue to see the selected effect.
Is there a way to prevent the mouseDown effect from being displayed when the selected effect is already being displayed?
Hi _USER_
Do you mind elaborating a bit more on which Style Properties you have defined in your Selected style vs. your MouseDown style?
As you've noticed in RP 10, the Style Effects will blend together in the prototype. However, if you do not want the blending to occur, you can simply define the specific style properties on the Selected style, and those properties will override the properties on the MouseDown style.
For example, let's say you have a button with the following styles:
 - Base Style: white background / black font color
 - MouseDown Style: blue font color
 - Selected Style: grey fill color
Let's say when the button is in a selected state and the user mouses down on the button, you do not want to show the MouseDown blue font color.
In order to achieve this, you can simply define the font color that you want to display in that scenario in the Selected style (e.g. black font color). Once a font color is defined within the Selected style, it will no longer be overridden when the user mouses down on the button in the prototype.
The same would apply for other style properties you have defined in your style effects.
Hope this helps!
Hi Frankie
I've attached my file. There is definitely something weird going on as I don't even see the colour for the mouseDown event any more.
When the widget is created from dragging a "Primary Button" onto the canvas, everything works as you described above. However, if you modify the shape of the button, the mouseEvent does not occur as expected.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi _USER_,
Thank you for sharing your file. I was able to reproduce this issue on my end as well. This appears to be a bug with rendering style effects in the prototype for custom shape widgets. I've filed this to have our team investigate further. Thank you for letting us know!


Ballast: The Tractor Tire Fluids Rundown
How Much Ballast Do I Need on my Tractor and Why?
tractor-tire-fluids
Since the day tractor manufacturers moved from steel wheel traction to tire on wheel configurations, farmers have added tractor tire fluids to their equipment to add traction weight, counterbalance and to lower their center of gravity to reduce the possibility of tipping. Years of trial and error has changed the material offerings and methods, but not by much.
Why You May Want Ballast
Do you have good tires but still have a hard time gaining traction on loose or wet surfaces? Adding downforce with tractor tire fluid can assist in gaining traction on slippery surfaces. Some 4×4 tractors have a high center of gravity thanks to their tall tires and axle clearance and adding ballast to your tires can help lower that center of gravity, an important consideration if you're operating on a grade.
Many of the best small farm tractors come with bucket loaders now, which are exceedingly useful around the farm and homestead. That's something you'll want to add to your list of farm tools and equipment when you're considering what tractor and machinery to purchase. Many people quickly find the maximum weight they can lift and for those of us who have been there, you know that unnerving feeling of your rear tires lifting off the ground, adding ballast to your rear tires, or aft of your rear axle, will help overcome this problem and make your tractor safer to operate. If you use the 3-point hitch of your tractor to pull implements like a plow, and you find it hard to steer or the implement's weight is pulling the nose of the tractor up, then loading the front tires will weigh your nose back down.
Why You May Not Want To Ballast Your Tires
Adding tractor tire fluids to tires can negatively impact your tractor's ride quality, especially when loading the rear tires, according to John Deere. In a Deere service recommendation sheet for tire loading, they suggest a preferred 40% volume fill for liquid ballast, but the long-standing tradition of tire loading is 75% fill, which is the maximum John Deere suggests. If you drive in high gear along roadways at or near top speed, the already harsh ride may get worse, but at low speeds, you are not likely to see a difference in the ride of your tractor. The old Oliver-White tractor we used to have on the farm came loaded with calcium chloride at 75%, and I felt no significant difference when we upgraded to our John Deere 5105 with no tire ballast, so I personally have no concern about affecting the "ride quality" of our tractor.
Since the day tractor manufacturers moved from steel wheel traction to tire on wheel configurations, farmers have added tractor tire fluid to their equipment to add traction weight, counter balance and to lower their center of gravity to reducing the possibility of tipping. Years of trial and error has changed the material offerings and methods, but not by much.
Tractors like this could especially use ballast due to their low curb weight
What Options Are Available
Farmers will always be a breed of their own, but rest assured they will find the cheapest and/or most rugged way to achieve something, and tractor tire fluids are no exception. Some common materials include water, calcium chloride, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, beet juice and polyurethane foam.
Water
It's cheap and easy, but it freezes. This is a deal breaker for a lot of people since blocks of ice make it feel like you have a flat in your tread, and when ice expands it can push the tire off the rim. If you live in the deep south, then maybe you can get away with it, but here in New England, it's a big no-can-do.
Calcium Chloride
Calcium chloride is usually sold in a flake form. You mix it into water and the solution resists freezing down to around -50°F. Calcium chloride was the go-to fluid for ages, but it's notorious for rusting wheels into oblivion. Obtaining the raw material can be an affordable venture, but replacing the wheels down the road will not be, however, there are people who still use it because it can be cheap and the solution weighs around 40% more than plain water. I don't personally suggest calcium chloride, but it is an option.
Antifreeze
If I was to load the tires of our John Deere, I would likely use this method. Antifreeze is easy to come by, albeit not all that cheaply. Ethylene Glycol is toxic, so regardless of the cost savings over Propylene Glycol, I would not use it. It takes very little Ethylene Glycol to kill a dog and honestly, I love my dog too much to take that chance. On that note, Propylene Glycol will work for the application, is nontoxic and is commonly marketed as pet safe. Propylene Glycol is also used by veterinarians as a bypass sugar, administering it to ruminant animals such as cattle to perk them up. Automotive antifreeze resists freezing down to around -40F and adds no weight to the water you'll be adding it to (which is 8 pounds per gallon).
Windshield Washer Fluid
As I said, farmers will always find a cheaper, better or stronger way of doing things, and this is a perfect example. Automotive windshield wash fluid typically resists freezing down to -20°F, or -32°F for the winter blend, is easy to find and cheap to buy. Windshield washer fluid still only weighs 8 pounds per gallon, but hey, at least the insides of your tire and wheel will stay clean and streak free!
tractor-tire-fluid
Both windshield washer fluid and automotive antifreeze are easy to come by. Shop your local auto parts stores and gas stations for the best price.
Beet Juice
A fairly new product to the tractor tire fluid arena is a product sold under the name of Rim Guard. Rim Guard's main ingredient is beet juice of all things and boasts a lot of positive points. The real selling points of beet juice are; it's nontoxic, it's 30 percent heavier than water, it resists freezing down to -35°F and the real kicker is that it's noncorrosive, so it won't eat your wheels for dinner like calcium chloride will. But as with everything, there is a flip side to Rim Guard, and that's the price. Rim Guard can be a rather expensive product, especially if you're filling a large tire. If you can afford the expense, this may be your best option by far.
Polyurethane Foam
Foam filling your tractor tires is a viable proposal, but an expensive one with some aggravating downfalls. Foam filling weighs up to 50% more than water per volume and offers you a no-flat tire that is sure to affect the "ride quality" of your tractor. There are plenty of YouTube videos of homebrew DIY methods of foaming tires, but if you're serious about loading a tractor tire, I highly suggest going to a dealership and having it professionally done. You will have to cut the tire off the wheel or buy new wheels when you want to change tires, so be sure to foam new or almost new tires so you get the longest tread life. Foaming your tires also means you can not adjust tire pressures or tire footprint, but by the same token, you never have to check your tire pressure, so it's really a catch 22 situation.
Ballas Tractor Tire
Loading Your Tires
Support your axle to take the weight of the machine off the tires, deflate them and remove the valve core in the tire stem. There are plenty of devices and methods for loading tractor tire fluids, but the easiest would be using a filling device, a drum of fluid in the bucket of the tractor, a hose between the two and then raising the bucket, relying on gravity to do the work for you. If you want to fill to John Deere's recommended 40%, rotate the tire stem to the 4 o'clock or 8 o'clock position and fill to the stem. If you want to fill to the industry standard of 75%, place the stem at 12 o'clock and fill to the stem. Rim Guard has a handy tire size chart that shows you how many gallons to put in you tire, just remember that the chart shows the weight of their product so calculate whichever product you use based on pounds per gallon.
Do you use tractor tire fluids to add ballast? If so, what's your favorite fluid to use and why?

Comments
 - This is one of the most complete articles I have found online regarding ballast for tractor tires. I have experience with 2 of the big ones – calcium and foam fill. As you said some of the others are simply not an option in the northeast. I just wanted to mention a couple things about polyurethane foam fill. First, you gain the maximum ballast weight possible because you fill 100% of the tire cavity. Second and probably most important is that you want to do your homework on the different grades of fill…it's not, "any polyurethane foam fill will work for any tire…they're all the same". There is a HUGE difference. For large farm tractor tires down to the smallest tedder tires, you want a soft soft with a durometer in the 8 – 15 range. You should be able to fold in half a "soft fill" sample (hockey puck size) in your palm. Anything harder then you are asking for trouble and premature equipment breakdown do the the rock hard fill and the constant vibration. Lastly, always demand a virgin

ComEd Owned Street Light Audit
Like a lot of communities around Chicago, The Village of Glencoe has a small collection of street lights that they own and maintain. The rest of the lights are owned and maintained by ComEd, and The Village is then billed for their usage. ComEd provides The Village of Glencoe with a list of all the lights in its database that are within Glencoe's village limits. The Public Works department asked the GIS Department to see if all the lights could be mapped out and then analyzed to make sure that The Village was being billed correctly and that ComEd had the right information for each street light that they owned.
The GIS Department began using a combination of address information, aerial imagery, and Google Streetview to find the locations of each street light provided by ComEd. First, the street light locations were mapped against the Village's address and street range databases placing them in the general vicinity. Then by using a combination of aerial imagery and Google Streetview, the locations of each light were narrowed down. Any street lights in the ComEd database that can't be mapped will be then marked in the database and the Village will have to have discussions with ComEd to figure out the discrepancy. When the street light mapping is completed, The Village of Glencoe will then be assured that they are being billed correctly for their street light usage and that their own street light database is up-to-date.

What is PCD?
The bolt circle is the circle determined by the positions of the bolts; the center of every bolt lies on the circumference of the bolt circle.
The important measurement is the "pitch circle diameter" (PCD), usually expressed in millimeters, although inches are sometimes used. For a 4- or 6-bolt car, this measurement is merely the distance between the center of two diametrically opposite bolts. In the 4-bolt picture this would be the distance between 2 opposite holes.
Steek met 4 boutgaten Steek met 6 boutgaten
Some basic geometry is needed to find the center of a 5-bolt pattern: But basically, the PCD can be found by multiplying the center distance between any two adjacent holes by 1.701.
Or just draw an imaginary circle throught the center of all holes, now measure the diameter of this circle.

text: Traditionally, object retrieval methods require a set of images of a specific object for training. In this paper, we propose a new object retrieval method using a single query image, without training, for a global object. The query image could be a typical real image of the object. The object is constructed based on Speeded Up Robust Features (SURF) points acquired from the image. Information of relative positions, scale and orientation between SURF points are calculated and constructed into an object model. The ability to match partially affine transformed object images results from the robustness of SURF points and the flexibility of the model. Occlusion is handled by specifying the probability of a missing SURF point in the model. Experimental results show that this matching technique is robust under partial occlusion and rotation. The obtained results illustrate that the proposed method improves efficiency, speeds up recovery and reduces the storage space.

childLayer = 'Districts'
# Get list of foreign keys
foreignKey = [row[0] for row in arcpy.da.SearchCursor(childLayer, ["FCC"])]
# Convert list to tuple
primaryKey = ()

We here report a rare presentation of bilateral anterior dislocation of shoulder with associated fracture of greater tuberosity in a 38 year old male due to minor trauma which he sustained secondary to hyponatremia induced irritability. There was no associated rotator cuff tear which is often associated with BADS which makes this presentation unique. Unilateral dislocation of shoulder is a common condition which is frequently encountered in emergency trauma department. Anterior dislocation is more common than posterior dislocation. However, simultaneous bilateral shoulder dislocations are usually posterior. Bilateral anterior dislocations with fractures of the greater tuberosity are even rarer and are usually associated with trauma or seizures.


text: Thresholding is always critical and decisive in problem solving. In this paper, we propose an adaptive fuzzy logic-based approach to thresholding for exon prediction problem, which is an important problem in bioinformatics. Rather than using the same threshold for the entire dataset, we allow the thresholds to vary along the dataset based on the local statistical properties. We incorporate it in a soft computing framework of training and testing to determine the optimum adaptive thresholds. The search space of the trained database is reduced by determining a dynamic range of thresholds using fuzzy logic rules, which makes our approach faster. To test our approach, we applied the proposed algorithm on a particular solution to the exon prediction problem, which uses a threshold on the frequency component at f = 1/3 in the nucleotide sequences. Preliminary experiments on the nucleotide data of Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (Bakers yeast) illustrate the potential of our approach. The adaptive thresholding approach gave suitable thresholds to detect the exons which were otherwise difficult to detect using a traditional static thresholding scheme.

Reduce Realm File Size - Swift SDK
On this page
 - Overview
 - Realm File Size
 - Avoid Pinning Transactions
 - Threading
 - Dispatch Queues
 - Automatic Compaction
 - Manual Compaction
 - Compact a Realm Asynchronously
 - Make a Compacted Copy
 - Tips for Using Manual Compaction
 - Summary
The size of a realm file is always larger than the total size of the objects stored within it. This architecture enables some of realm's great performance, concurrency, and safety benefits.
Realm writes new data within unused space tracked inside a file. In some situations, unused space may comprise a significant portion of a realm file. Realm's default behavior is to automatically compact a realm file to prevent it from growing too large. You can use manual compaction strategies when automatic compaction is not sufficient for your use case or you're using a version of the SDK that doesn't have automatic compaction.
Generally, a realm file takes less space on disk than a comparable SQLite database. Unexpected file growth may be related to Atlas App Services referring to outdated data. These factors can affect file size:
 - Pinning transactions
 - Threading
 - Dispatch Queues
When you consider reducing the file size through compacting, there are a couple of things to keep in mind:
 - Compacting can be a resource-intensive operation
 - Compacting can block the UI thread
Because of these factors, you probably don't want to compact a realm every time you open it, but instead want to consider when to compact a realm. This varies based on your application's platform and usage patterns. When deciding when to compact, consider iOS file size limitations.
Realm ties read transaction lifetimes to the memory lifetime of realm instances. Avoid "pinning" old Realm transactions. Use auto-refreshing realms, and wrap the use of Realm APIs from background threads in explicit autorelease pools.
Realm updates the version of your data that it accesses at the start of a run loop iteration. While this gives you a consistent view of your data, it has file size implications.
Imagine this scenario:
 - Thread A: Read some data from a realm, and then block the thread on a long-running operation.
 - Thread B: Write data on another thread.
 - Thread A: The version on the read thread isn't updated. Realm has to hold intermediate versions of the data, growing in file size with every write.
To avoid this issue, call invalidate() on the realm. This tells the realm that you no longer need the objects you've read so far. This frees realm from tracking intermediate versions of those objects. The next time you access it, realm will have the latest version of the objects.
You can also use these two methods to compact your Realm:
Tip
See also:
When accessing Realm using Grand Central Dispatch, you may see similar file growth. A dispatch queue's autorelease pool may not drain immediately upon executing your code. Realm cannot reuse intermediate versions of the data until the dispatch pool deallocates the realm object. Use an explicit autorelease pool when accessing realm from a dispatch queue.
New in version 10.35.0.
The SDK automatically compacts Realm files in the background by continuously reallocating data within the file and removing unused file space. Automatic compaction is sufficient for minimizing the Realm file size for most applications.
Automatic compaction begins when the size of unused space in the file is more than twice the size of user data in the file. Automatic compaction only takes place when the file is not being accessed.
Manual compaction can be used for applications that require stricter management of file size or that use an older version of the SDK that does not support automatic compaction.
Realm manual compaction works by:
 1. Reading the entire contents of the realm file
 2. Writing the contents to a new file at a different location
 3. Replacing the original file
If the file contains a lot of data, this can be an expensive operation.
Use shouldCompactOnLaunch() (Swift) or shouldCompactOnLaunch (Objective-C) on a realm's configuration object to compact a realm. Specify conditions to execute this method, such as:
 - The size of the file on disk
 - How much free space the file contains
For more information about the conditions to execute in the method, see: Tips for Using Manual Compaction.
Important
Compacting may not occur
Compacting cannot occur while a realm is being accessed, regardless of any configuration settings.
When you use the Swift async/await syntax to open a realm asynchronously, you can compact a realm in the background.
func testAsyncCompact() async {
let config = Realm.Configuration(shouldCompactOnLaunch: { totalBytes, usedBytes in
// totalBytes refers to the size of the file on disk in bytes (data + free space)
// usedBytes refers to the number of bytes used by data in the file
// Compact if the file is over 100MB in size and less than 50% 'used'
let oneHundredMB = 100 * 1024 * 1024
return (totalBytes > oneHundredMB) && (Double(usedBytes) / Double(totalBytes)) < 0.5
})
do {
// Realm is compacted asynchronously on the first open if the
// configuration block conditions were met.
let realm = try await Realm(configuration: config)
} catch {
// handle error compacting or opening Realm
}
}
Starting with Realm Swift SDK Versions 10.15.0 and 10.16.0, many of the Realm APIs support the Swift async/await syntax. Projects must meet these requirements:
Swift SDK Version
Swift Version Requirement
Supported OS
10.25.0
Swift 5.6
iOS 13.x
10.15.0 or 10.16.0
Swift 5.5
iOS 15.x
If your app accesses Realm in an async/await context, mark the code with @MainActor to avoid threading-related crashes.
You can save a compacted (and optionally encrypted) copy of a realm to another file location with the Realm.writeCopy(toFile:encryptionKey:) method. The destination file cannot already exist.
Important
Avoid calling this method within a write transaction. If called within a write transaction, this method copies the absolute latest data. This includes any uncommitted changes you made in the transaction before this method call.
Compacting a realm can be an expensive operation that can block the UI thread. Your application should not compact every time you open a realm. Instead, try to optimize compacting so your application does it just often enough to prevent the file size from growing too large. If your application runs in a resource-constrained environment, you may want to compact when you reach a certain file size or when the file size negatively impacts performance.
These recommendations can help you optimize manual compaction for your application:
 - Set the max file size to a multiple of your average realm state size. If your average realm state size is 10MB, you might set the max file size to 20MB or 40MB, depending on expected usage and device constraints.
 - As a starting point, compact realms when more than 50% of the realm file size is no longer in use. Divide the currently used bytes by the total file size to determine the percentage of space that is currently used. Then, check for that to be less than 50%. This means that greater than 50% of your realm file size is unused space, and it is a good time to compact. After experimentation, you may find a different percentage works best for your application.
These calculations might look like this in your shouldCompactOnLaunch callback:
// Set a maxFileSize equal to 20MB in bytes
let maxFileSize = 20 * 1024 * 1024
// Check for the realm file size to be greater than the max file size,
// and the amount of bytes currently used to be less than 50% of the
// total realm file size
return (realmFileSizeInBytes > maxFileSize) && (Double(usedBytes) / Double(realmFileSizeInBytes)) < 0.5
Experiment with conditions to find the right balance of how often to compact realm files in your application.
A large realm file can impact the performance and reliability of your app. Any single realm file cannot be larger than the amount of memory your application would be allowed to map in iOS. This limit depends on the device and on how fragmented the memory space is at that point in time.
If you need to store more data, map it over multiple realm files.
 - Realm's architecture enables threading-related benefits, but can result in file size growth.
 - Automatic compaction manages file size growth when the file is not being accessed.
 - Manual compaction strategies like shouldCompactOnLaunch() can be used when automatic compaction does not meet application needs.
 - Compacting cannot occur if another process is accessing the realm.
 - You can compact a realm in the background when you use async/await syntax.

A new quality assessment test was carried out to examine the relationship between the perception of audio and video resolutions. Three video resolutions and four audio resolutions were used to answer the question: "Does lower resolution video influence the perceived quality of audio, or vice versa?" Subjects were asked to use their own equipment, which they would be likely to stream media with. They were asked to watch a short video clip of various qualities and to indicate the perceived audio and video qualities on separate 5-point Likert scales. Four unique 10-second video clips were presented in each of 12 experimental conditions. The perceived audio and video quality ratings data showed different effects of audio and video resolutions. The perceived video quality ratings showed a significant effect of audio resolutions, whereas the perceived audio quality did not show a significant effect of video resolutions. Subjects were divided into two groups based on the self-identification of whether they were visually or auditorily inclined. These groups showed slightly different response patterns in the perceived audio quality ratings.

A general framework for formulating structured variable selection
Published: 25 Jan 2024, Last Modified: 17 Sept 2024Accepted by TMLREveryoneRevisionsBibTeXCC BY 4.0
Abstract: In variable selection, a selection rule that prescribes the permissible sets of selected variables (called a "selection dictionary") is desirable due to the inherent structural constraints among the candidate variables. Such selection rules can be complex in real-world data analyses, and failing to incorporate such restrictions could not only compromise the interpretability of the model but also lead to decreased prediction accuracy. However, no general framework has been proposed to formalize selection rules and their applications, which poses a significant challenge for practitioners seeking to integrate these rules into their analyses. In this work, we establish a framework for structured variable selection that can incorporate universal structural constraints. We develop a mathematical language for constructing arbitrary selection rules, where the selection dictionary is formally defined. We demonstrate that all selection rules can be expressed as combinations of operations on constructs, facilitating the identification of the corresponding selection dictionary. We use a detailed and complex example to illustrate the developed framework. Once this selection dictionary is derived, practitioners can apply their own user-defined criteria to select the optimal model. Additionally, our framework enhances existing penalized regression methods for variable selection by providing guidance on how to appropriately group variables to achieve the desired selection rule. Furthermore, our innovative framework opens the door to establishing new $\ell_0$-based penalized regression techniques that can be tailored to respect arbitrary selection rules, thereby expanding the possibilities for more robust and tailored model development.

What's with the enclosed water filling stations?
Have you ever wondered why water stations on the South Rim are caged in?
In August 2023, construction crews installed new water filling stations with wildlife resistant enclosures at the Bright Angel and South Kaibab Trailheads funded by Grand Canyon Conservancy. This was completed with funding through a grant from National Park Foundation and Tupperware. The filling stations had been closed because elk had learned to turn on the water and there were too many encounters with humans. The new water filling stations are wildlife proof.

'A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia' offers exciting and amazing tips on the importance of oaks and how to plant them successfully '
Darnum, Victoria, Australia (PRWEB) January 11, 2013
Author Richard Browne expresses his sturdy and prolific fervor for nature as he pens a profound and delightful anthology in A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia. This is the author's long dream to write a book about his passion–oak trees and to share to the world how he was captivated by its grandeur and mystery.
This volume will reveal Browne's 10 years of collecting and planting oaks. It all began after arriving from Ireland and realising what to do with his six acres of bare land. Missing the beautiful and colorful changing of the seasons and the distinctive smell of the deciduous woods that he had enjoyed during his childhood, thus he decided to collect and plant oaks from different parts of the world. Through time, Browne studied and researched as much knowledge as could be found. Browne believes that oaks have played a great part in the evolution of culture. It is also the most obvious form of flora and fauna that has been quite advantageous to the Australian landscape, soil and wildlife rather than being detrimental like so many of the other impulsive imports. This book aims to provide a simple guide to the things people didn't know, but probably should, about the oaks.
A Simple Guide to Planting Oaks in Australia is a book that showcases the author's long years of passion for oaks. It will also help gardeners, oak enthusiasts and land owners learn many interesting new facts and method about oak planting and collecting.

News Content Perspective of TV One and Metro TV in Seeing Indonesia Government Policy
In the new order era, media is chained and regarded as a mouthpiece of New Order government. After 17 years the fall of the New Order regime, some of the media in Indonesia still can never escape from the intervention, particularly media owners. This research aims to determine the differences of political perspective of two television media toward the government. The research used qualitative method which relies on secondary data through documentation. The results indicate that the political orientation of the media owners had intervened the media perspective against the government. Media cannot be an objective watchdog of the government, because the news on the televisions is subjective. The media, such as TV One and Metro TV, have different agenda and perspective. The setting of a resource as well as the communications attitude of the TV One host shows its role as a government watchdog. Metro TV has a different attitude; there is tendency to be more cooperative and accommodating with government and the policies of President Joko Widodo.

Virtual Provisioning
Definition - What does Virtual Provisioning mean?
Virtual provisioning is a virtual storage network (VSAN)-based technology in which storage space is allocated on demand to devices. This process allows virtualized environments to control the allocation and management of physical disk storage connected with virtual machines (VM).
Virtual provisioning is also known as thin provisioning. However, virtual provisioning is more relevant to a virtual environment, while thin provisioning is more relevant to physical computing implementations.
Techopedia explains Virtual Provisioning
Virtual provisioning presents but does not actually assign higher storage capacity to VMs. The underlying host allocates physical storage to each VM, based on actual requirements and as needed.
For example, a collective VSAN pool may contain 30 GB. A connected VM device may be presented with a logical space of 10 GB, but in actuality, the space may be smaller. Therefore, when the VM requests storage space, storage capacity up to 5 GB or more, if required and available, is allocated.

Original Austro-Hungarian Empire WW1 Wound Medal - Karl IV. (Verwundetenmedaille) for one wound (one stripe on the ribbon), IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, ON GENUINE TRIFOLD RIBBON, A NICE DETAILED EXAMPLE
HISTORY OF THE AWARD:
Wound Medal (Verwundetenmedaille, Croatian: Ranjenička medalja) was a decoration of the Empire of Austria-Hungary. It was established on August 12, 1917 by Emperor Karl and was the last medal to be officially founded in the empire. The Wound Medal was awarded to servicemembers of the Austro-Hungarian armed forces and to persons attached to the Austro-Hungarian armed forces who were wounded as a result of combat operations. Besides wounded persons, it was also awarded to persons who were disabled or suffered serious damage to their health in connection with military actions. The medal was made of zinc, and measured 38-mm in diameter. The zinc surface was dull gray, but examples with a polished surface often appear. The obverse of the medal featured a bust of Emperor Karl with his name in Latin "CAROLUS" above and a wreath of laurels below. Between the bust and the laurels in smaller letters was the name of the designer of the medal, K. Pracht. The reverse featured the words LAESO MILITI ("to the wounded soldier") and the date in Roman numerals "MCMXVIII" (1918). The medal was suspended from a typical Austrian-style trifold ribbon, 39-mm in width. The ribbon was gray-green with 4-mm wide red edge stripes. The number of wounds was indicated by narrower 2-mm wide red stripes, edged in black, centered on the ribbon. No stripes indicated an award for someone invalided out of service. One stripe indicated a single wound, two stripes two wounds, etc.


text: Using a qualitative community-based research approach, this study examined the role of family, social support and place attachment during a wildfire evacuation of Indigenous residents in remote Northern Ontario. A total of 56 interviews and two focus group discussions were completed with evacuated band members, those who stayed behind, and people who had a management role during the evacuation. In order to obtain diverse perspectives, two focus groups were conducted with different groups, the first with councillors and elders and the second with youths. The results from the interviews and the focus groups illustrated that evacuation experiences of residents were affected by a range of factors, which overall compromised the resilience of the community to the disruptive impacts of the evacuation. More specifically, the study has shown that scattering residents to twelve hosting communities throughout Ontario and Manitoba caused four major problems: communication and information-sharing were more difficult, families were separated, community cohesion and support services were disrupted, and residents' sense of place attachment was impacted. These findings contribute to a robust understanding of the social and cultural factors influencing wildfire evacuation experiences of Indigenous people and how these influence the ability of residents to cope with or adapt to evacuation-related disruptions. Evacuation planning that takes into account the unique socio-cultural characteristics and vulnerabilities of First Nations can minimise the adverse consequences of hazard evacuations and enhance resilience in the face of disruptions.

 1. Coal gas
 Coal gas is a flammable gaseous fuel made by the destructive distillation of coal and contains a variety of calorific gases including hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and volatile hydrocarbons together with small quantities of non-calorific gases such as carbon dioxide and nitrogen. It was the primary source of gaseous fuel for the United States and the UK until the widespread adoption of natural gas during the 1940s and 1950s in the US, and the late 1960s and 1970s in the UK. It was used for lighting, cooking, and heating and was often supplied to households via a municipally owned piped distribution system. Originally created as a by-product of the coking process, its use developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries tracking the industrial revolution and urbanization. By-products from the production process included coal tars and ammonia, which were important chemical feedstock for the dye and chemical industry with a wide range of artificial dye colours being made from coal gas and coal tar. Facilities where the gas was produced were often known as a manufactured gas plant or a gasworks. The discovery of large reserves of natural gas in the North Sea off the UK coast during the early 1960s led to the expensive conversion or replacement of most of the nation's gas cookers and gas heaters, with the exception of Northern Ireland, from the late 1960s onwards.

text: In the present study, the effectiveness of ohmic thawing (OT) on temperature distribution (TD) was evaluated by using a non-destructive measurement method: thermal imaging (TI). The effects of both OT process parameters and sample properties on TD of thawed minced beef were determined. Thermal images were taken from the central cross-sectional area of a thawed sample. In the first part of the study, the effects of OT system parameters (voltage gradient; 10-13-16 V/cm and electrode type; E1:titanium foil electrode with a smooth surface, E2: needled-type titanium electrode, E3: titanium electrode with pyramid surface shaped) and sample shape (X: 13 x 4 x 3 cm(3); Y: 13 x 6 x 2 cm(3); Z: 13 cm height x 3.91 cm diameter) were analyzed in detail. The best thawing condition (electrode type E2 and sample shape Y) was determined by taking into account of thawing time and TD properties obtained from a developed TI processing technique. In the second part of the study, the effects of OT process on TD properties of minced beef having different fat contents (2-10-18%) were compared with those of two different conventional thawing processes (stationary cold ambient + 4 degrees C -RT and under cold running water + 4 degrees C -WT). The percentage of thawed portions in central section was above 68% for OT and varied between 12 and 54% for CT. Rectangular-shaped samples had more homogeneous temperature distributions than cylindrical samples (p < 0.05). TI could be used to control the process by non-destructive monitoring of temperature during OT.

Red Fife was the baking and milling industries standard of 'wheat' in Canada from 1860 to 1900. The origin is a mystery. Sent to Peterborough Ontario farmer Fife in 1840, it took its name from the seed color and Fife's name.
Red Fife Wheat's origin is a mystery. Perhaps it originated in the Vistula delta of what is now Poland, then shipped from Danzig to Glasgow, where a friend of David Fife sent a sample to Canada. Fife then grew the variety in Ontario and shared it with other farmers, calling the wheat Red Fife after its distinctive color on his land. Red Fife wheat kernels are not always red in color. The Red Fife seed adapted to a great diversity of growing conditions across Canada and became the baking and milling industry standard for forty years, from the 1860s to the turn of the twentieth century.
Starting in the early 20teens Cornell university got a SARE grant to clean up the genetics to insure that the Red Fife is back to its original standards and quality because it was the land race wheat that people saved from generations to generations it had contaminations from modern verities. Under the supervision of Phillip Atkins who is a plant breeder from the NY seed improvement society. It was cleaned up with modern genetics removed and was taken back to the plant description of the 1800s.
2015 I was happy to be able to get some of this Red Fife and grow it out for the project and it was inspected with the green tag for quality insured seed. The project was wrapped up with the seed being called improved Red Fife. Since then we have expanded our seed crop and grow about 10-15 acres a year of Improved Red Fife. It makes the best tasting, moist bread! It is well saught after for its taste! It came from a time that farmers ate what they grew and cared about the flavor!
Also we have had people who cant normally eat gluten be able to eat this Red Fife.

Bunkers Hill Pit, The Granites
The Bunkers Hill Pit is a mined-out pit located at the Granites Gold Mine, approximately 550 km northwest of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia. Active mining is not currently occurring on site, however, ore from a nearby satellite site continues to be processed at the Granites mill and the tailings stored on site. In 2006, Newmont Tanami Pty. Ltd. identified the need for a new tailings storage facility as the existing facility was nearing capacity.
RGC, having previously conducted a hydrogeological review of the site and a groundwater field investigation in December 2005, was retained by Newmont to evaluate different options for additional tailings storage. Following the resulting recommendations, RGC designed a seepage pumpback system for the mined out Bunkers Hill Pit. In August 2006, RGC carried out a preliminary field program which included the drilling and installation of several pumping bores. The field program also included the supervision of pump tests on the newly installed pumping bores, to constrain the hydraulic parameters of the host rock and determine the efficiency of the bores. Based on these test results, recommendations were provided on pump size, accessories, pumping rates and discharge system.
Tailings discharge at the Bunkers Hill Pit was slated to begin in early 2007, during which RGC continued to assist in implementation of the recovery system and operation and groundwater monitoring on the site, to ensure compliance of the new tailings storage facility with performance criteria.
- Hydrogeological review and assessment;
- Design of a seepage interception system;
- Supervise drilling and installation of pumping bores;
- Assistance in groundwater monitoring.

Background: There is a recognized need to deliver oral health information to people during clinical encounters to enable them to develop personal skills in managing their own oral health. Traditional approaches to individual oral health education have been shown to be largely ineffective and new approaches are required to address personal motivations for preventive behaviour. This systematic review aims to identify and assess the effectiveness of behaviour models as a basis for individual oral health promotion.
Methods: Electronic databases were searched for articles evaluating the effectiveness of health behaviour models in oral and general health between 2000 and 2007. Eighty-nine studies were retrieved and data were extracted from the 32 studies that met the inclusion criteria.
Results: Thirty-two studies were identified in the fields of clinical prevention and health education, motivational interviewing (MI), counselling, and models based interventions. MI interventions were found to be the most effective method for altering health behaviours in a clinical setting.
Conclusions: There is a need to develop an effective model for chairside oral health promotion that incorporates this evidence and allows oral health professionals to focus more on the underlying social determinants of oral disease during the clinical encounter. There is potential to further develop the MI approach within the oral health field.

Boise State's Intermountain Bird Observatory has gained lots of fans in the local community, including Zamzows Inc., the longtime Boise lawn, garden and pet store.
Zamzows organized a January fundraiser in which it pledged to give $1 for every bag of wild bird food sold to the IBO. On Friday, Feb. 8, Zamzow's presented the observatory with a check for $2,300.
"The Intermountain Bird Observatory will use this donation to help us connect more students to our research programs, so that they can meet real scientists and learn about bird conservation in action," said Heidi Carlisle, education and outreach director.
If you'd like to support similar efforts, the observatory welcomes donations for its annual bird banding projects. Hummingbird banding takes place each year in Idaho City. Songbird banding takes place at the observatory's station near the Boise River. The IBO also runs the Lucky Peak banding station to monitor songbirds, hawks, and owls. The banding projects reach more than 2,000 people, and students from more than 20 schools each year, said Carlisle. The projects rely heavily, and in some cases entirely, on donations.
The Intermountain Bird Observatory (formerly Idaho Bird Observatory) is a nonprofit academic research and community outreach program of the university focused on impacting human lives and contributing to conservation through a combination of research, education, and community engagement.

Behaviour of Construction Output in Kenya
An ARIMA Model
In a recent investigation of ways to enhance the role of the construction industry in the economy of Kenya, methods of modeling the construction activity were explored. This is because there remains a problem in the construction industry failing to meet the demand for constructed facilities in the country at the macrolevel. In the exploration, it was noted that ARIMA (Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) models have widely been used in modeling the construction industry – either as a whole or the different sectors of the industry - around the world. This modeling approach which is also popularly known as the Box-Jenkins approach was adopted in this study. This paper is a report of the study. Construction output data collected and analyzed in this paper was obtained from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) for the period between 1977 and 2019 – 43 years. The developed ARIMA model was evaluated on its predictive power on the basis of an out-of-sample forecast. The study adopted two measures of accuracy - MAPE, and RMSE - which produced fairly good results. Therefore, the model can be used for forecasting construction output in Kenya. Finally, it is recommended that the model be applied in setting construction production targets at the macro-level and guiding policy formulation to stimulate higher performance of the construction industry in Kenya.

length of an amah equals 53.34 centimeters or 21.0 inches. Cf., Encylopedia Talmudit, II, 29, where the length of an amah is given as 54 centimeters according to Arukh ha-Shulhan.
Teshuvot Hatam Sofer states that the length of a fingerwidth is a "zoll." Since a biblical amah is equal to 24 fingerwidths, the length of an amah according to Hatam Sofer equals 24 zoll. Da'at Torah, Yoreh De'ah, Kuntres Aharon 35:116 states that the zoll is equal to 2.6 centimeters. That calculation is apparently also assumed by Darkei Teshuvah and Encyclopedia Talmudit. [Cf., however, Encyclopedia Britannica, loc. cit., which describes the zoll as a Swiss unit of measure equal to 3 centimeters.] Encyclopedia Talmudit, ad locum, indicates that, according to Hatam Sofer, the length of an amah is 62.4 centimeters or 24.567 inches. Thus a mil, according to Hatam Sofer, would equal 1248.0 meters or 4094.49 feet. Darkei Teshuvah 19:27 notes that the amah was marginally enlarged by rabbinic decree and, accordingly, should be calculated as 241/2 zoll. Darkei Teshuvah endorses the position of Hatam Sofer and states that the length of an amah according to Hatam Sofer is 63.8 centimeters. Thus, according to Darkei Teshuvah, an amah equals 25.12 inches and, accordingly, a mil equals 1276 meters or 4186.35 feet. Hatam Sofer's calculations are thus significantly greater than those of the earlier-cited authorities.
Darkei Teshuvot also cites a certain "Rabbi of Yasi" who calculated the amah as "no more than" 52 or 53 centimeters and an anonymous scholar who differed and calculated the amah as approximately 581/2 centimeters. Darkei Teshuvah also quotes She'erit Yisra'el, Parashat Mezora, who calculates the amah as 211/6 zoll or 56 centimeters and further opines that one who calculates the amah as 221/8 zoll or 57 centimeters is to be commended. Darkei Teshuvah cites an additional source for the latter calculation as well.
Da'at Torah, Yoreh De'ah, Kuntres Aharon 35:116, cites authorities who variously posit the length of an amah as 47 centimeters, 55.25 centimeters, a bit more than 57 centimeters and 58.5 centimeters, as well as one authority who asserts that according to Rashi the amah equals 43.8 centimeters, according to Shakh 45.02 centimeters, according to Taz 47.34 centimeters and according to Rambam 50 centimeters. See also the measurements ascribed to earlier authorities by Rabbi Weiss, Midot u- Mishkalot shel Torah, pp. 198-264 as well as the table presented ibid., introduction, p. 8. See also R. Moshe Shimshon Bacharach, Hut haShani, no. 97.
For a table correlating many of these measurements of the amah with the volume of the liquid revi'it see Midot u-Mishkalot shel Torah, introd., p. 8. Rabbi Kanievsky, Shi'urin shel Torah, p. 51, cites a discussion in the Palestinian Talmud, Terumot 10:7, that is understood by some authorities, including Riva, Commentary on the Pentateuch, Parashat Mishpatim; Ma'adanei Yom Tov, Berakhot 3:30; and Tosafot Yom Tov, Pe'ah 6:6, as indicating that a revi'it equals 240 grams. If so, an amah would appear to equal 73.368 centimeters or 28.885 inches. Rabbi Kanievsky categorizes that calculation of the revi'it as "extremely large" and as "not imagined by earlyday authorities."

Costs for ARV Roadway (Preliminary)
A preliminary cost model has been developed for at-grade roadway suitable for a small Automated Road Vehicle (ARV), in particular the Automated Microbus. The model gives a total roadway cost of $1,100,000 per two-way mile (1.6 km).
The cost model, shown in the table below, uses data from a recently published report on bicycle path costs and benefits. It's assumed that a concrete bike path is also suitable for a small ARV. The Gross Vehicle Weight of an Automated Microbus is estimated to be 3,600 lbs (1640 kg). The bike path data includes unit costs for fencing, but other sources are used for guard rails and magnetic markers for the vehicle's control system.
The model in the bicycle path cost report is available online. It wasn't used directly, but its default values for pavement thickness and other parameters for a concrete, off-street bicycle trail were used in the ARV roadway model.
The $1.1M ARV roadway cost is an average value for the entire United States. The bicycle study also has a cost factor for each of the lower 48 U.S. states, as well as for a few U.S. metropolitan areas. They are on page 20 of the report. These factors range from 0.90 to 1.40, and they could be used to adjust ARV roadway cost for location.
Other ARV cost models will be added later for bridges, underpasses, stations, intersections, and vehicles.
Cost Per Mile (1.6 km) of Two-Way Automated Microbus Roadway in 2006 Dollars
1. "Guidelines for Analysis of Investments in Bicycle Facilities", NCHRP Project 7-14, Final Report, August 2005, pp. 11-32. This is an extremely detailed and comprehensive study that was used as the basis for most unit costs and contingency factors. To be conservative, fence costs were taken unchanged from the report, even though the report assumed a 6 ft (1.8 m) fence, while the Microbus fence would be about 4 ft (1.2 m) high. The Project Contingency value of 20% was based on the analysis on page 31 of the report, although other values could also be justified.
2. "The Safety and Cost-Effectiveness of Bridge-Approach Guardrail for County State-Aid (CSAH) Bridges in Minnesota", October 2005, p. 51. A unit cost range of $12-$15/ft in 2004 dollars is listed. The midpoint of the range was used, and the value was converted to 2002 dollars using the Producer Price Index for Highway and Street Construction (see Reference 4, below). To be conservative, the nationwide guardrail cost was not adjusted downward to reflect higher costs in Minnesota. A standard guardrail is assumed even though the Automated Microbus would be much lighter and slower than many vehicles on conventional highways, and it may be possible to get by with a less expensive guardrail. However, conventional guardrails are produced in large quantities which holds down the cost. To be conservative, no savings over conventional guardrails are assumed.
3. Yin, Y, M. A. Miller, and S. E. Shladover, "Assessment of the Applicability of Cooperative Vehicle-Highway Automation Systems to Freight Movement in Chicago", Transportation Research Board 2004 Annual Meeting CD-ROM, p. 14. The paper lists a cost of $10,000 per lane mile to install magnets in existing pavement, and $5,000 per lane mile for new construction. However, experience to date mostly involves existing construction. To be conservative, possible savings from installing magnets in new construction were ignored, and the $10,000 per lane mile figure was used. No attempt was made to adjust this number for inflation before combining it with other costs in 2002 dollars.
4. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Producer Price Index for Highway and Street Construction. The Series ID is the following 15-character string: PCUBHWY--BHWY--. The annual values used were 133.7 (2002), 148.2 (2004), and 166.8 (2005). Costs were first brought forward to 2005 by multiplying by (166.8/133.7). It was then assumed that costs would increase from 2005 to 2006 by the same percentage as from 2004 to 2005. Considering the sharp increase in costs in the last year or two, this seemed more accurate than extrapolating a longer time series. The total adjustment from 2002 to 2006 was (166.8/133.7)*(166.8/148.2) = 1.404.

This study investigated the feasibility of Moringa oleifera seed cake powder (MOSCP), a natural product after oil extraction, for Congo red (CR) removal from aqueous solution. Coagulation experiments indicated that CR was efficiently removed by MOSCP in short time. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy spectra showed that large amount of proteins was contained in MOSCP. The removal of CR was contributed to both the adsorption and charge neutralization of proteins on the surface of MOSCP particles, and nucleation of these particles. No significant impact of solution pH was observed on CR removal under acid and neutral conditions, but the CR removal decreased remarkably with increasing pH under basic condition. An optimal MOSCP dosage was found that was linearly proportional to CR initial concentration. ? 2014, Balaban Desalination Publications.

To clarify the fractal natures of electromagnetic radiations prior to earthquakes, we conducted a friction experiment simulating the essential elements of the motion of an asperity on a fault plane, and observed the generation of photon emissions around frictional contacts due to the dielectric breakdown of ambient gases by frictional electrification. According to the fractal distribution of fault asperities, we show that the frictional discharge (plasma generation) at asperities on the fault plane can be one of origins of the fractal seismo-electromagnetic radiation prior to earthquakes.

How Does Rotating Log Grapple Works Out & What Are Its Advantages?
Many of us would love to talk about tech and its working behind, right? So, we will be talking today about the rotating log grapple working which is an equipment of a heavy machinery such as crane. Now, there is much kind of cranes as we all know but we shall not be discussing about these cranes and will be more focusing onto the grapple which can be affixed in almost every kind of cranes. So, in bit older time we have only unidirectional grapple which can only move upside down or downside up with an interlocking mechanism and if we want to rotate it so it was not possible due to which we have to move the crane instead, quite difficult and painful but now it is very easy with rotating log grapple. Actually, what happens is that when we are working with logs so it is quite long and to hold it is not a problem but when it comes to rotate it for several reason so that was not possible easily.
In an addition, rotating log grapple makes a lot easiness in such kind of work and especially when it is about long materials and good like log. This is why this specific grapple called as rotating log grapple. Let us see its advantages in following bulleted points and its explanation. For more information about rotating grab please click here.
 1. Affixing rotation log grapple in a crane
This is a preliminary step to install or attach the rotating log grapple in your crane so that you can be able to use it wisely.
 1. Connect Gears with rotating log grapple
If you need an extra control and advance features than you may needed to connect additional gears to it for extended support. Like, when you wanted to rotate it without dropping the log so it will hold and moves simultaneously as much as you want. The best part is that it can balance it from an edge, it is not necessary to rotate it from the middle.
 1. Horizontal and Vertical rotation
With the help of hydraulics rotating log grapple, you can also rotate it like clock and anti-clock wise. For an example you wanted to rotate the log in vertical direction so you can do that also if you wanted to rotate the log horizontally so yes that is also possible.
There are many other benefits of rotating log grapples and also you can customized your own grapple according to your requirement. If you are looking for rotating log grapple and also if you interested in hydraulic grapple for sale, rotating multi grappleand demolition grab than the best and the first choice is "Earth master Grapples".

Checking WAEC result is been laid down into several ways, perhaps to Check WAEC Result without Scratch Card is one of it. That is why on this page you will learn it. Beside this processes where laid down by the West African Examinations Council, so it's not a trick to check WAEC Result without Scratch Card.
There are ONLY 2 methods to check waec result, whereby Pins are are even required. Meaning that you will still need the Scratch Card.
Why You Need The Waec result Scratch Card
- It savers as a protection to your result in the WAEC database
- Using the Scratch Card help control how user access the Result checking Portal
- Its a way of making money for the organization (WAEC Office)
Here are Ways to checking Result, NOT to Check WAEC Result without Scratch Card
I assume you all are mistaking the SMS method of checking WAEC result as a way to Check WAEC Result without Scratch Card. Well if that is what you are thinking, then its wrong because checking your result via SMS also needs PIN Number of the Scratch Card (although no serial number is required)
- Send SMS in the format below:
To short-code 32327 (MTN, Celtel & Glo subscribers)
- For example -:
Ensure you adhere strictly to the format above. There should be no space in the message.
- Wait for your result to be delivered to your phone via SMS. (SMS Cost N30 Only)
But Checking WAEC Results Online – You use this method
You can either use mobile phone or PC to do this, as long as its connected to the internet.
- Logon to _URL_
- Enter your 10-digit WAEC Examination Number.
(This is your 7-Digit centre number followed by your 3-digit candidate number eg. _PHONE_)
- Enter the 4 digits of your Examination Year eg. 2002
- Select the Type of Examination
- Enter the Card Serial Number found on the reverse side of your Scratch card.
- Enter the Personal Identification Number (PIN) on your Scratch card
- Click Submit and wait for the results window to come up
However, there are things you should know about which never exist, that is;
- to check waec result without examination number
- to check waec result without scratch card pin or serial number
- to check results without spending money or credit
This is because you MOST need the follow to successfully check your waec result online or SMS;
- Examination Number – Your Exam number make you look unique from others, that is why no one can have same exam number (only by error).
- Examination Year – You providing the year you wrote exam will enable the database to locate your results and other vital information about you.
- Type of Examination – WAEC conducts different types of exam, like GCE, SSEC, etc. That is why providing the type of exam you had participated also help getting your data from the WAEC portal.

Congressman Ben Ray Luján of New Mexico's Third District highlighted the announcement by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar today that the Bureau of Reclamation has awarded the first construction contract for the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. The $10.75 million construction contract, which consists of placing approximately four miles of 42-inch diameter water supply pipeline and appurtenant facilities, will enable construction to begin as early as this summer.
"Today's announcement is another important step toward providing the Navajo Nation, the city of Gallup, and the Jicarilla Apache Nation with a reliable supply of clean water that is critical to the health and economic well-being of so many in New Mexico," Congressman Luján said. "During this difficult economic time, the construction of this vital pipeline will create jobs and help put people back to work improving our communities with much needed infrastructure."
The Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project is one of 14 high-priority infrastructure projects the Obama Administration is expediting through the permitting process. The completed project will provide more than 37,000 acre-feet of water from the San Juan River Basin to more than 43 Navajo chapters, the city of Gallup, and the Jicarilla Apache Nation. As part of the project two water treatment plants will be built to deliver water through approximately 280 miles of pipeline, 24 pumping plants, and numerous water regulation and storage facilities.


How to Replace a Belt Tensioner on a 1998 Chevy Cavalier
by Grace Mclain
itstillruns article image
Jupiterimages/Comstock/Getty Images
The belt tensioner on the 1998 Chevy Cavalier is a spring loaded component with a pulley attached to one end. The belt tensioner keeps the proper amount of tension on the belt while the engine is running. The tensioner moves up and down with the movement of the belt as the belt travels around each accessory pulley. Replace the tensioner if the spring inside of the tensioner arm becomes weak or if it breaks.
Step 1
Open the hood on the 1998 Chevy Cavalier and locate the spring loaded belt tensioner. It's on the front passenger side of the engine or in the front center of the engine. Use the bolt head in the middle of the tensioner pulley to loosen the tension off of the belt.
Step 2
Rotate the tensioner pulley clockwise with the ratchet and socket. Then, pull the belt out from under the tensioner pulley. Hang the belt to the front of the engine with a bungee strap to keep it from falling out of the other accessory pulleys.
Step 3
Locate the bolt head that in the center of the spring loaded section of the tensioner. Loosen and remove the bolt with the ratchet and a socket by turning the bolt counter-clockwise. Pull the tensioner straight off of the front of the engine and place it to the side. If the tensioner is stuck, slide a flathead screwdriver behind the tensioner and pry outward until the tensioner comes off of the front of the engine.
Step 4
Position the new tensioner to the front of the engine. Screw the bolt back into the center of the spring loaded arm and tighten down tight with the ratchet and socket.
Step 5
Remove the bungee strap from the belt. Then, turn the new tensioner pulley clockwise to make room for the belt. Slide the belt under the new tensioner pulley and release the tensioner. As the new tensioner retracts it will tighten the belt to the proper tension.
Inspect the belt to make sure it's still seated inside all of the pulleys. Then, crank the engine and let it run for 15 seconds. Watch the tensioner as the engine is running to ensure it's working properly. Turn the engine off and close the hood.

 - Ignore line containing _
 I am trying to do a text compare and have lines containing "_OBJECT_" ignored.
 Example lines from same file:
 File 1-> "P46_OBJECT_0:"
 File 2-> "P13_OBJECT_0:"
 File 1-> "√P46_OBJECT_0. = {Starting Point}"
 File 2-> "√P13_OBJECT_0. = {Starting Point}"
 File 1-> "√Next. = {P46_OBJECT_1:,forward}"
 File 2-> "√Next. = {P13_OBJECT_1:,forward}"
 I have tried adding varation of OBJECT with and without the _ to the importance tab grammar elements and have not yet figured out how to ignore the above lines.
 What would I need to do to ignore the above lines where the number is the only difference?
 There are other lines in this file what contain the number difference but I do not want those differences to be ignored.
 Thank you.

 Hello,
 You would need to create a Regular Expression that matches on the entire line, not just the word "object", otherwise the grammar only makes "object" unimportant.
 For a full instruction list of how to create a grammar and mark it as Unimportant (rather than Important), see here:
 Beyond Compare is a multi-platform utility that combines directory compare and file compare functions in one package. Use it to manage source code, keep directories in sync, compare program output, etc.
 Your regular expression could be something similar to
 .*_OBJECT_.*
